A tiger in a zoo has consumed 20 pounds of food in 4 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 55 pounds?
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 11 | |
| 2 |
If the tiger has consumed 20 pounds of food in 4 days that's \( \frac{20}{4} \) = 5 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 55 - 20 = 35 more pounds of food to reach 55 pounds total. At 5 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{35}{5} \) = 7 more days.
Solve for \( \frac{6!}{3!} \)

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)

What is 7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 4\( \sqrt{3} \)?
| 28\( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 11\( \sqrt{12} \) | |
| 56\( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 28\( \sqrt{7} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
7\( \sqrt{4} \) x 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
(7 x 4)\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \)
28\( \sqrt{12} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
28\( \sqrt{12} \)
28\( \sqrt{3 \times 4} \)
28\( \sqrt{3 \times 2^2} \)
(28)(2)\( \sqrt{3} \)
56\( \sqrt{3} \)
What is \( \frac{9}{3} \) - \( \frac{8}{5} \)?
| \( \frac{2}{15} \) | |

| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{9 x 5}{3 x 5} \) - \( \frac{8 x 3}{5 x 3} \)
\( \frac{45}{15} \) - \( \frac{24}{15} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{45 - 24}{15} \) = \( \frac{21}{15} \) = 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
If \( \left|y - 6\right| \) + 7 = -3, which of these is a possible value for y?
| -12 | |
| 8 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 |
First, solve for \( \left|y - 6\right| \):
\( \left|y - 6\right| \) + 7 = -3
\( \left|y - 6\right| \) = -3 - 7
\( \left|y - 6\right| \) = -10
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (y - 6) must equal - 10 or --10 for \( \left|y - 6\right| \) to equal -10:
| y - 6 = -10 y = -10 + 6 y = -4 | y - 6 = 10 y = 10 + 6 y = 16 |
So, y = 16 or y = -4.
